Members present were: t'lessrs~ Johnson, Thomas, Frost, DeFriel and f·lme. Campbell. It was moved by Mr. Johnson and seconded by rv.r. DeFriel that the minutes of the December 10, 1962 meetin:; be adopted as read. The City Manager then introduced to the Council auxiliary police officer Richard S.

The Bellevue District Court serves an area containing 40,.000 people. Medina '''as one of the first cities to support this new system. ME!lvin Love then outlined the functions and procedures of this court. Discussion of a proposed ordinance changing the speed limit on Evergreen Point Road to 25 mph. then follmved. Gertrude Park, 2230 Evergreen Point Road, vIas in favor of stringently enforcing the present 30 mph. rather than reducing the speed limit. She felt that too many \varnings and not enough tickets are issued. Dr. Holfe. 3339 Evergreen Point Road, stated he would like to see the speed limit remain unchanged, tltat excessive dropping of the limit is not the solution and only discriminates against those ~esiding on the point. Earold Dudek, 3405 Evergreen Point Road, protested the reduction in speed limit, claiming 30 mph. is not too fast, maintaining the solution Hould be one Harning only and then the second offense should mean a citation, that only penalties will enforce any limit or change the habits of speeders, not speed limits. Mrs. Robert Ryning, 3212 Evergreen Point Road, felt that 25 mph. is truly unrealistic in this day of modern cars. It was her opinion that the existing school zones reduced the overall risk of speeding on the street during the daytime hours, and I~I that 25 mpJ:.1. is an unnecessary limitation for an adult, or any driver, durin::; the nocturnal hours. Mrs. Fisher, 1.026 Evergreen Point Road, stated that she \.,ould like to see the speed limit reduced to 25 mph. because of the number of children and d03S residing on that street. t-'r. Sinkora of Evergreen Point Road felt that the speed limit should be reduced because the road is narrow, residential and has much shrubbery on the edge, as well as a large number of children and dogs on the street.
